Partner power stations
Gösgen-Däniken nuclear power plant (KKG)
The station's pressurized water reactor plant has an electrical output of 970 MW. The Gösgen nuclear power plant went into operation in 1979. It was the facility in Switzerland to be built with a 150 m high cooling tower instead of direct river water cooling.
KKG
Leibstadt nuclear power plant (KKL)
The plant is the newest and largest facility in Switzerland. It went into operation in 1984. Like KKG, it also has a cooling town instead of a river-water cooling system. The boiling water reactor has a net output of 1,190 MW.

Nuclear power plant partner company (Kernkraftwerk-Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG, KBG)
This company provides its partners (Axpo AG has a one-third stake) with 15% of the output and energy production of the Fessenheim nuclear power plant. It is owned by Electricité de France (EDF) and is located in Alsace, about 50 km to the north of Basel. The twin plant installations are each equipped with a pressurized water reactor. The installed total output is 2 x 880 MW. KBG also holds a purchase right to 566.5 MW from EDF's fleet of pressurized water nuclear power plants. Axpo AG avails of around 260 MW of this.
EDF-fleet
Axpo AG has secured long-term purchase rights to power from EDF's fleet of nuclear power plants. This currently corresponds to an output of 600 MW.
